The Garden Gear Plant Protection Cover in white is designed for gardeners seeking to protect their plants, especially during winter. Its primary benefit is robust protection against frost, pests, and harsh weather conditions. A minor caveat is its tapered shape, which might not suit all plant structures perfectly. This cover is made from thick, UV-resistant, non-woven fabric, featuring a vertical zipper for easy access and a drawstring for a secure fit. It insulates against cold, prevents sun scorch, aids moisture retention, and deters pests.

It is made from thick 80GSM non-woven polypropylene fabric with 2% UV absorbing additives.
The Medium size cover measures 100cm in height and 60cm in width.
The non-woven fabric provides insulation, trapping heat around the plant and shielding the foliage, stems, and root ball from freezing temperatures.
Yes, the secure drawstring at the bottom is designed to cinch tightly around the base, helping to prevent the cover from being lifted or blown away by strong winds.
While made of non-woven fabric, it offers a degree of breathability. However, for prolonged use in very humid conditions, occasional airing may be beneficial.
You can clean it by wiping with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Yes, the cover acts as a physical barrier, preventing insects and other pests from reaching and damaging your plants.
Ensure the drawstring is pulled as tightly as possible. If the plant/pot is significantly smaller than the cover's base, consider using additional ties or weights around the bottom edge for a more secure fit.
This can occur if stored while damp. Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and ensure the cover is completely dry before storing.
Check for any fabric obstructions caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any snagged material. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Ensure adequate drainage for the pot. Consider briefly opening the zipper on dry, mild days to allow for air circulation, especially if high humidity is present.
